MOTHER  ,  CHILD  AND FIRAQ GORAKHPURI ‘S  SENSITIVITY 

 Firaq's mother died from some complications during  the birth of Raghupati Sahai Firaq Gorakhpuri. The absence of mother had an enormous impact on the personality of child Firaq .Firaq wrote a poem on his mother .I quote some lines from  this poem:- 

“Woh maa me jis se sharaarat ki daad paa  na saka

Me jis ke haathon mohabbat ki maar Kha na saka

Woh maa jo doodh bhi apna mujhe pila na saki

Woh maa jo haath se apne mujhe khila na saki 

Woh maa gale se jo  mujh ko kabhi laga na saki 

Woh maa jo dekhate hi mujh ko muskara na saki

Woh maa ke beench ke jis ko kabhi me so na saka

Me jis ke aanchalon mein munh chhupa ke ro na saka

Humak ke godh mein jis ke me kabhi charr na saka

Me zer e saaya  e umeed jis ke barr na saka

Sanwaara jis ne na meray jhandole baalon ko 

Basa saki na jo honthon se sooney gaalon ko

Jo meray haath se ek din dawa bhi pi na saki 

Ki mujh ko zindagi  dene mein jaan hi dhe di”

( Firaq  Gorakhpuri)

Aane waali naslein tum par naaz kareingi hum-asron

Jab unn ko yeh dhyaan aayega “tum ne Firaq  ko dekha tha“....( Firaq  Gorakhpuri )

Posterity will be proud of you , O , men of my time,

When they come to think : “ You had seen Firaq  “
